A promissory note is a written document officially recognizing a legal relationship between two parties a lender and a borrower. Promissory notes create a legally binding promise with a mutual understanding regarding the borrowing and repayment of money.
A simple promissory note might be for a lump sum repayment on a certain date. For example, you lend your friend $1,000 and he agrees to repay you by December 1. The full amount is due on that date, and there is no payment schedule involved.
